The Family Strengthening Network empowers families to achieve their dreams and be successful in all areas of life. Through free, personal and confidential sessions with a trained Family Advocate, families develop a clear plan to accomplish their goals and receive all the tools, resources and opportunities necessary to complete their plan.

FSN offers educational seminars and small groups in a variety of areas that are critical to the well-being of the family. FSN also provides family fun events and community volunteering opportunities which reinforce the relationship bonds within families.

FSN Family Advocates are trained to coach families to self-identify their needs and empower them to successfully achieve their goals. Family Advocates are dedicated to walking alongside families, thinking outside the box for solutions, and providing tools and services which families use in reaching their goals.

We had a great presentation from Bob Carr today who shared details on his commitment to Bridgeton and a pilot project called the South Jersey Give Back Smile Program! .
Bob Carr is the founder of (@givebackscholars) Give Something Back, Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides four-year scholarships to college including room, board, and tuition. Bob has personally invested $36 million in scholarships since he formed Give Back in 2003. What is most exciting is that Bridgeton High School is the single largest concentration of Give Back scholars in the nation with 43 scholars.
.
Bob Carr recently made a gift to (@rcgcnj) Rowan College at Gloucester County and (@rowanuniversity) Rowan University ($1.5 million) to "improve college attainment rates in the South Jersey region" as a prepayment of room, board, and tuition for 100 additional students. .
Carr's generosity is fueled by his business success. He was the founder and CEO of Heartland Payment Systems, one of the largest payment processing/payroll companies in the world. He sold Heartland in 2016 for $4.3 billion.
.
On May 1, 2017, Bob formed "Beyond," a new payment processing/payroll company. Give Back is the beneficiary of his majority stake in Beyond and all of his personal earnings. The majority ownership of Beyond by Give Back makes the venture the largest financial services social venture in America. Bob's goal for his new company is to sustain and grow Give Back's mentoring and scholarship program in Bridgeton and the region. Beyond is a rapidly growing company with 500+ employees in just 10 months and more than $1 billion in payments processed.
.
We want to thank Bob Carr, his team, our community partners and friends who came out today to learn more about how we can strengthen our youth and community as a whole! #GreatcityofBridgeton #Givesomethingback #southjersey #bridgeton #cumberlandcounty #gloucestercounty #fosteryouth #fosterteens #firststar #childadvocacy

Meal times are a great opportunity to reconnect with your family and I found a fun way to get silly and some serious conversations rolling. Visit our blog on www.familystrengtheningnetwork.org (or click the link in our bio above) .

After much thought my new year resolution is to do less with more focus. Take the time to figure out what is most important to you and focus your energy on this! .
